CUSTOMS DUTIES.
Hitch in the Importation of Cigar. from
Cuba-A Box that was Tempered With.

WASHINGTON, June 10.
). 5. Pierce & Co. of Boston have appealed
to the treasury department from the decision
Of the collector at Boston, assessing duty
on seven boxes of cigars which we're found to
be short in a package of such merchandise
recently imported at Boston via New York
According to the collectors report the
package reached Boston in apparently good
condition. 1t had been duly recorded and
sealed at the time of shipment at Havana,
but upon examination at the public store il
was found that the bottom had been tamper-
ed with and seven boxes of % cigars each
had been distracted. 1t appeared. however,
that the collector was not satisfied from the
proofs submitted that the cigars were alb
stracted before shipment or that they were
lost or destroyed during the voyage thus in
dicating to him (the collector) that the alb
straction occurred after the arrival of the
goods in the United States. On this present
alton of the case, Assistant Secretary May
nard denied the application of the importers
for the refund of the duties on the missing
cigars, the government, he says in the letter
TO the collector, being entitled to duties on
merchandise imported Tito the United States
regardless of the fact that it may have been
fraudulently landed.

THE WIRES CROSSEh
Burning OF a Fine Block in PIttsburg,
Penn.-Heavy Loss to the Western
Union Telegraph Company.

PITTsBURG, Penn. June 10.
The First National Bank building of Pitts
burg, a five story iron structure on the corner
of Fifth avenue and Hood street, the upper
floors of which were occupied by the main
office of the Western Union Telegraph Co.
as operating department and battery room,
was partly destroyed by fire at six o'clock
this morning. The fire started in the opera
ting room and is supposed to have been caused
by the crossing of wires in the rear of the
switch board. The flames spread rapidly
and great difficulty was experienced by the
firemen in getting their ladders in position
on account of the net work of wires. After
a gallant fight. however, the fanes were
subdued. but not before the three upper
stories had been completely gutted, and com
municaton by the Western Union with the
outside world entirely cut off. All of the
fine machinery was totally destroyed and
every wire prostrated. Communication by
telephone has also been suspended and ali
kinds of business are in consequence greatly
retarded. The loss at this time cannot be
estimated. The building was one of the
most imposing in the city. 1t was erected
about l5 years ago.

IRISH EVICTIONS.
Considerable Resistance on the Part of
the Tenants-The Houses Barricad ed !.

DUBLIN, June 10.
The evictons at Bodyke were resumed
Friday, and there was a repetition of the ex-
citing scenes which have attended the mum
erous attempts to evict tenants. The sheriff
and his bodyguard were stubbornly resisted
at the house of tenant named O'Hailoran. A
excited mob, who cheered the defenders of
the premises and urged them to hold out
OHalloran and his party had dug trench
around the house and barricaded the lower
rooms. while the upper portion of the house
was occupied by two men, including two
who had returned from America and some
women. The bailiffs made an attack on the
wall of the house with crow bars, but were
received with scaiding water, and fed. The
inspector of police with drawn sword mount
ed the ladder placed against the side OF the
house but was beaten down. The constable,
with rifle and fixed bayonet, next mounted
the ladder, but his head was battered BY the
defenders. Several gashes were inflicted
upon him and he reireated. Another consta-
bic also attempted TO climb the Ladder, but
failed Another ladder was then procured
and several constabes mounted it, but were
beaten down. Mr.. Cox essay ed to CLIMB up
the ladder to speak to the inmates of the
house, but the police prevented him from DO
ing so. Finally, a constable entered with a
rifle and fixed bayonet. The rifle was w-est-
ed from him and his safety imperriled. when
Father Hsnnon entered and secured a cessa-
ton of hostiiilies. The inmates were then
arrested and the work of eviction was car
ried out

IRISH EMIGRATION.
Correspondence Between Secretary Bay.

Matter.
WASHINGTON. June 10

NAsHINGTOS. June lO
Secretary Bayard today made public his
correspondence with British Minister West
on the subject of assisted emigration. Under
date of April 25, 1887, Minister West in
quired whether under the existing laws the
Irish emigrants sent out at public cost and
who have friends in the United States able to
help and support them, be SLOWED to land
The secretary in reply explained the
immigration laws and intimated that those in
poverty and dependent upon friends for sup
port would not be allowed to land. He said
persons whose only escape from becoming
and remaing charge upon the community is
expected but are entirely contingent of the
voluntary help and support of their friends
are not desirable accession to our popula-
ton and their expectation hither by foreign
government to get rid of the burden of their
support, could scarcely be regarded as q
friendly act.
